So...forget putting Tatar--arguably the most creative offensive player on the Wings the last month or so--on a line with Datsyuk. That's just crazy talk. You NEED Abdelkader on that line, Mike.

Logic. There's got to be some. We're just missing it. Emmerton's staying up. Tatar goes down. Abdelkader on a line with Datsyuk. Tatar goes down. 8 healthy defensemen with Fredo coming back soon to make 9...and Tatar goes down.

The team cannot score on the power play, Abdelkader still plays WITH DATSYUK, and Tatar goes down.

Trade deadline's coming up and our "big deal" will be Helm coming back. Money to spend, holes to fill...and a whole lot of jack shit to show for it. Everyone's talking about the need for a top four defenseman? Really? No. We don't need that.

We need a scorer, or we need a Datsyuk. Well, I mean, we have one. But we need one who's not being wasted. JFC. This is unbearable.

The dirty road beckons. It's filthy and twisty turny and the Wings can't score there, much less win. So what do we do? Send down Tatar.

Ready. Set. Vomit. Loudly. Violently. And not neatly.
